Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DGHS Dashboard at daily against CGTN's every 5 weeks. DGHS Dashboard also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). CGTN's advantage is ratings volume (394 vs 1) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
